Watching Triumpth of the Will for the 50th time or so, I got to thinking. We are a nation. The White Nation. I think we need a uniform or something along those line so we can tell each other apart come SHTF.

It can range from civilian clothes with a certain color hat or tan BDU's and an arm band.

I think this is something that we need, if not now then in the near future.

Any Ideas, or am I crazy?

Hi, Davoosie. I actually wish you were right, and that wearing a specific uniform would be effective today. I would love to wear a uniform personally!

To be realistic, though, I think the uniform-wearing days died in 1945. In the interwar period, many groups wore uniforms - both on the left and on the right. But those days are far, far behind us. Today, no one wears uniforms, unless A) they want to purposefully stand out for law-inforcement, snitches, government watch agencies, etc., or unless B) they're just more interested in massaging their ego than in making a serious political impact.

What's more powerful than a White Nationalist in a uniform is a White Nationalist in a normal suit and tie quietly teaching our children, influencing his friends intelligently, or otherwise blending in with society and being able to actively recruit without anyone knowing.

Our uniform today is the suit and tie! There's no way around this.

Well put! Now, at the risk of being inflamatory, I should like to show this picture:

On the left you see Adolf Hitler, on the right you see Francisco Franco, and in the middle you see Mussolini. Which of these men looks 'riddiculous' or 'nuts'? I can gurantee you that the answer should not being Hitler or Franco!

here is Goebbels, my personal rolemodel, in a suit:
Here is is in that god awful uniform:

now, true, his uniform was nicer than most (he had them tailor made and slightly different than the ones the rest of the party had), but to pretty much every white NOT on this board (ie, those we have to convince) goebbels in a suit looks like just another guy. Goebbels in a uniform looks like a dangerous lunatic. Presentation is important. Its akin to professionalism. If you look respectable you will get a better reception.

Maybe we can split the difference with a distinctive item of clothing? not a whole uniform.

Leather trenchcoats are nice and can convey the message without having to say anything. My mother automatically associates leather trench coats with nazis and fascists. Most people are too dumb to notice, but would think they look snappy.

Or we could have a badge or somthing -- like the NSDAP badge.

The problem is creating a "uniform" for a disparate movement. What's good for the Nazis isn't going to go for the Klan and vice versa. Christian imagery will shy away the pagans and likewise pagan imagery the Christians.

I think that the original post assumes Stormfront to be an organization which it is not. the NSM has uniforms, the Klan has uniforms, National Vanguard dresses like people. You don't see David Duke wearing robes anymore, do you? No, you do not. He wears people clothes, and he has some (albit limited) success. He'd not do nearly so well stomping around in boots and braces and that's the fact, jack.

People are really putting alot of thought into these shtf and zombie attack theories. Its starting to get really funny.

Since I am an often a poster on these threads, I figured I'd chime in.

I won't even comment on uniforms, since I have no interest in such.

Something wrong with considering the shtf possibilities?

You may think that "SHTF" only refers to some kind of revolution or race war. That is your error. "SHTF" encompasses MANY possibilities. More than likely, it will be the result of natural phenomena.

Currently, we have a bulge rising in Yellowstone National Park over the world’s LARGEST “super-volcano. Scientific projections show over 250,000 dying in the initial eruption.

Astronomers track over 2,000 “Thor’s hammer” earth-crossing asteroids and acknowledge that we have no viable way to prevent a collision.

We are currently in a decades long period of increased hurricane activity that hasn’t even began to let up.

Overall, it seems weather patterns are becoming more and more extreme.

So, you scoff at being prepared for the unexpected?

Your type of thinking is irresponsible. Everyone knew that one day, a major hurricane was going to do EXACTLY what DID happen to New Orleans. We all talked about it. (I lived in New Orleans for 5 years.) No one prepared. Look at the anarchy you got.

I lived through the aftermath of Katrina outside of New Orleans in the rural area. So much attention was given to these rural areas, and no help was coming. We didn’t see a single emergency vehicle for 5 DAYS. We had no power, water, or communication for 2 MONTHS. I drove over 130 miles to get fuel whenever we needed it.

When I did get supplies, I had to repel looters and thieves in the middle of the night three times with the use of firearms. We had neighbors who had generators stolen, fuel stolen, home invasion, and there were five people shot looting homes in the first 2 weeks of the crisis.

You laugh at the thought people like me give to unpredictable possibilities. Well genius, I LIVED through a “SHTF” and I saw with MY OWN EYES how fast society degenerates into lawlessness.

It’s easy for you in Virginia to arm-chair quarterback. I didn’t see you down here stewing in 97 degree heat ALL day for MONTHS. I didn’t see you down here seriously considering meeting the basic needs of water. I didn’t see you down here facing down 6 men trying to siphon your fuel out at 2 AM.

I didn’t see you worrying that you needed to procure supplies for elderly in your community and spending thousands of your dollars driving to get them for those you cared about.

Get over yourself.

While I would not wish the destruction we had on anyone, I would really enjoy seeing how well YOU faired in something like this, and I would be very interested in how your views would change—if you made it.

I must say NO, we do not need uniforms. Not that I don't think they're cool. I'd be a hypocrite if I said anything negative about people who follow a dress code to express their politics; I am a skinhead.

The problem with imposing a uniform is that is polorizes "us" (the armband bedecked nationalists) from "them" (the public).

Once you take steps to make yourself exclusive you begin to close doors to the public. You make yourself an outsider.

The "I am an everyday guy, just like you. These things affect you and me both" approach works. The "Hey you over there, join us" approach dont.

Clothing is a good question to bring up. I myself have wondered what would be ideal to wear when the SHTF. The BDU of the U.S. military seems like a good outfit for war in a jungle. However, in an urban environment you would stick out like a sore thumb wearing woodland camouflage. I would think that a uniform or outfit that would be ideal when the SHTF should be appropriate for the climate you live in, doesn't tear easily, provides good protection for your feet, has plenty of pockets for you to carry things in, doesn't weigh you down or hinder your movement, and allows you to blend with your surroundings. Remember that a uniform that makes you easy to identifiy to your allies also identifies you to your enemies.
